Always Recreating myself

This is my first entry into my new blog. I am excited about journaling my thoughts about my work. I have been a portrait photographer for over 20 years. Of course, I started when I was 12! I have photographed actors, celebrities, presidential candidates, authors, musicians and extraordinary ordinary people. I have had two portrait books published. I love what I do. Everyone is unique with such interesting stories. I have always been a very curious person. I truly enjoy hearing about someones life.

Making a transition from portraits for the entertainment industry into family and children fine art wall portraits has been a natural progression. It seems that I will still photograph celebrities but in quite a different way. I photographed Leeza Gibbons right after Mother's Day with her three children. She said it was her Mother's Day gift to herself. It was so much fun seeing the playful relationship with her and the kids and the fun the siblings had with each other during the photography session. I know it's a great photo session when there is alot of laughing.
